Local Authorities
Whether a County Council, City Council, Borough Council, District Council or Unitary Authority etc, there are some 30,000 different Local Authority (LA) organisations in the UK, all of which have a need for GIS and mapping solutions.
As a specialist provider of such solutions, AIT Spatial has the knowledge, experience and track record to enable Local Authorities maximise the use of their data in all departments. As an Engineering and Architectural draughting system, AutoCAD is used extensively in many Local Authorities, but has the integration of this information with other GIS data been considered? Most Engineering plans are based on Ordnance Survey background data, but how much other data could be shared between departments?
AIT Spatial are well placed to provide assistance in the following areas:
- Translating OS MasterMap for AutoCAD users
- Enabling access to other OS data such as 1/10,000 raster
- Providing integration to high resolution areal imagery in ECW and MrSid formats
- Facilitating the integration of LLPG data with other LA datasets such as Planning Applications or Electoral Registration data
- Enabling sharing of common data sets throughout many departments
- Providing consultancy on digitising, collating and analysing Housing Stock and Land Terrier data
- Enabling access to LA GIS systems such as ESRI and MapInfo
- Providing consultancy for the publishing of departmental data to the Local Authority's own intranet mapping system
- Maintaining the Authorities own mapping system and ensuring that all users have access to the data required with the most appropriate application.
- Providing general and specialist training to suit individual and departmental needs
In these and many other areas, AIT Spatial can provide Consultancy, Training and Support. For more information, please refer to the Services and Support sections of the web site.
